Search Underway for Teen Who Fell into River at Minnesota Park
Taylors Falls, MN (KROC-AM News)- A search is underway in eastern-Minnesota for a Wisconsin man who fell into the St. Croix River.
The Chisago County Sheriff’s Office says they received several 911 calls around 6:10 p.m. Tuesday. The initial report indicates an 18-year-old Wisconsin man had lost his footing and fell into the river from an overlook at Interstate Park.
Several agencies launched what’s being described as an extensive rescue effort. The search was paused due to darkness Tuesday night and is set to resume Wednesday morning.
Officials say the river's flow rate along with debris typically seen in the springtime has made search conditions dangerous. They’re asking boaters not to look for the man.
The Chisago County Sheriff’s Office plans to provide an update on the search when one is available.
